Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the EC ignition relay.
    2. IMPORTANT: The test lamp is used to load the circuit and may not illuminate.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the EC ignition relay and the negative terminal of the battery.
  3. Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volts between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the EC ignition relay and the positive battery terminal.
    • If greater than 0.1 volts, repair the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the EC ignition relay for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
    4. IMPORTANT: The test lamp is used to load the circuit and may not illuminate.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the B+ voltage circuit of the EC ignition relay and the negative terminal of the battery.
  5. Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volts between the B+ voltage circuit of the EC ignition relay and the positive battery terminal.
    • If greater than 0.1 volts, repair the B+ voltage circuit of the EC ignition relay for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  6. With the ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the control circuit and the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the EC ignition relay.
  7. With the ignition ON, use a scan tool to command the EC ignition relay ON. The test lamp should turn ON for about 3-5 seconds and then turn OFF.
    • If the test lamp remains ON all the time, test for a short to ground on the control circuit. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
    • If the test lamp remains OFF all the time, test for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance on the control circuit. If circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
    8. IMPORTANT: The ignition 1 voltage circuit is between the EC ignition relay and the ECM. The ignition 1 voltage is a feedback circuit.
  8. Connect a 15-amp fused jumper wire between the B+ supply voltage circuit and the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the EC ignition relay.
  9. Attempt to start the engine. The engine should start.
    • If the engine does not start, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit between the EC ignition relay and the ECM for a short to ground or for an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
  10. If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the EC ignition relay.
